Let r be the lesser root and r^2 be the greater.......the sum of the roots = -b/a = -[-6] / 1 = 6
So we have that
r^2 + r = 6 → r^2 + r - 6 = 0
Factor
(r + 3) (r - 2) = 0
So r = -3 or r = 2
Then r^2 = 9 or r^2 =4
And the product of the roots = c/a = k/a = k
So....k = (-3)(9) = -27 or k = (2)(4) = 8
Check
x^2 - 6x - 27 = 0 factors as (x + 3)(x - 9) = 0 and the roots are -3 and 9
x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0 factors as (x -2) (x - 4) =0 and the roots are 2 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the first number is 2
Then 2 x 2 = 4 so there is a difference of 4 number
Then in between 6 and 14 there is a difference of 8 so 4 x 2 = 8
Then 16 so 8 x 2 = 16
So after 126 the number is 254
First you figure out that the ratio 7:4 is 1.75
Then you do this problem 28 divided by 1.75=16
And 28:16 is the same as 7:4
Now all you do is add 28+16=44
